Perfect Strangers by Popcorn Galazies
Audience members pair up to get to know each other while walking the city, leaving post-it notes behind them.

With collaborators Cindy Mochizuki, Sophia Wolfe, and Daniel O’Shea Perfect Strangers is a site-responsive, micro-performance which explores themes of intimacy, human connection, and friendship. Audience members who have never met are paired up and embark on a walking journey through the neighbourhood. The pairs are guided through a series of questions and conversation topics which become increasingly intimate. Throughout the journey, the pairs record moments of their experience on Post-It notes which are posted as they walk, forming a miniature guerilla art-installation for other passers-by and animating the landscape with a fleeting archive of transforming relationships. |
This quirky theatrical ice-breaker attempts to answer the question: how can a group of audience members start off as strangers and become friends? How do real life relationships form in the age where so much of our human connection is mediated by technology?
Perfect Strangers is your chance to have a face to face encounter with a perfect stranger who you may otherwise never meet.
